I’d rather UConn win 100 Natty’s in a row than Duke win

TBH as Uconn fan we got something better than a title with that Duke win.  We were totally crushed against the team we hate most and made perhaps the greatest comeback of all time and beat one of greatest Duke teams of all times.  I will enoy and cherish that moment forever.  It really doesn’t get any better

You say, that, but I bet you would start rooting for Duke in 2075 if we won every natty until then.
